AskWoody PlusLast year when I replaced my 10year old laptop, I decided to use One Drive for my documents, desktop, music and a few other folders. The new device has a 500gb ssd so I figured I’d save space. That said I ran into ISP data overages between Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud my data usage went bonkers and so I decided to bring things back home using a NAS along with a drive connected to my router for storage. That said, I can’t seem to get rid of the OneDrive folder on my laptop. I unchecked all of the boxes in the OneDrive app and unlinked my PC from OneDrive. I keep trying to change the folder location back to default C:users/me/documents – instead of – C:users/me/onedrive/documents AND WINDOWS WON’T LET ME DO IT. I even tried uninstalling OneDrive and that didn’t work. I realize that it’s just a matter of the folder within an extra folder named OneDrive but it really bugs me and I’d like to return to the default location. Any suggestions?

AskWoody PlusGoogle is your friend. I did a search for something like removing Win 10 builtins shortly after I moved to Win 10 and came up with https://www.howtogeek.com/224798/how-to-uninstall-windows-10s-built-in-apps-and-how-to-reinstall-them/
Scroll down a ways until you get to the portion using Powershell and a series of individual commands to be entered (copy & paste was far easier). I used them all without regret.
